A funeral service for a 1-year-old boy turned into a melee among family members Wednesday in Milwaukee.

Christopher Thomas Jr. was in the custody of his aunt, who was serving as his foster mother, when he died.

The aunt has been charged with reckless homicide and child abuse in Christopher's death.

More than 100 family members were gathered for services for the boy Wednesday when a fight broke out at a Milwaukee funeral home.

cincychick Saturday, Nov 22 at 8:11 PM FLAG COMMENT Why is being "ghetto" something to aspire to? These people seem to be the most trashy of the trash by 1) disturbing this poor baby's funeral with their drama, and 2) doing it in a setting that would get them on the internet. These people should definitely be ashamed of themselves, but they're probably sitting at home congratulating themselves on each push and shove. Idiots.
